Chapter 18: The Banshee in Cardinal
Seeing that Zhao Qian'er believed his lie, Xu Changqing was relieved, but he could see that Zhao Qian'er was duplicitous, even so, since things had come to this point, he could only make a mistake. Seeing the back of Zhao Qian'er leaving, and thinking about Bai Xiaoxi again, she is a sensible person, how could she do such a hurtful thing, if she knew how she would feel if she used her as an excuse, Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart.
After this incident, Zhao Qian'er was alone every day, no one knew what she was thinking, she came from loneliness to meet Xu Changqing, originally thought that she could have a companion to talk about her heart, but she had to lose, in the end it was just a dream, she left from loneliness, Xu Changqing every time he saw Zhao Qian'er's figure, he couldn't help but feel guilty, he only hoped that Zhao Qian'er would be able to accept Yun Xiaoyao in the future, so that her lonely heart would have a home.
Xu Changqing didn't tell Yun Xiaoyao about this, Yun Xiaoyao was surprised that Zhao Qian'er had alienated Xu Changqing so quickly, and her heart was happy, so she treated Xu Changqing more enthusiastically.
On this day, Xu Changqing and Qing Ling were chatting in the back mountain, when they saw a disciple of Yuxun Peak hurrying over, looking at the white-clothed disciple who came over, his eyes showed a trace of doubt.
"Senior brother, are you here to find me?"
The white-clothed disciple looked a little hurried, he came to deliver a message for Zhao Qian'er, and the matter was a little urgent.
"Senior Brother Changqing, you can make it easy for me to find it! Senior Sister Zhao asked me to bring you a message, Master and Master are waiting for you in the Seven Star Hall now, let you hurry up. ”
Xu Changqing didn't know why, and he was even more puzzled in his heart.
"Senior brother, what's going on?"
The white-clothed disciple shook his head, he didn't know the specific situation.
"I don't know, it's natural to know when I go to the Seven Star Palace. ”
Xu Changqing came to the Seven Star Hall with doubts, the atmosphere in the hall was depressed and heavy, the Dao Xuan Zhenren and the Seven Peaks Dao Chang had different expressions, and there were many disciples standing on both sides, including Zhao Qian'er, Bai Xiaoxi and Zhang Zifeng, and there were no other disciples of the three factions, Bai Xiaoxi stood in the middle and seemed to be being questioned, at this time the hall was surprisingly quiet, Xu Changqing seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat.
Dao Xuan Zhenren saw Xu Changqing enter the main hall and stood beside Bai Xiaoxi, he glanced at Bai Xiaoxi, and saw her with a worried face, Xu Changqing looked at Dao Xuan Zhenren with a puzzled look.
"Is there anything the master is looking for me?"
Dao Xu's deep eyes that seemed to be able to perceive everything stared at Xu Changqing, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Changqing, if I ask you, you have to answer truthfully, where are you and Xiaoxi?"
Xu Changqing had already thought about it on the way here, and remembered that Bai Xiaoxi had also mentioned it before, he guessed correctly, Dao Xuan Zhenren really looked for him for this matter, I remember that when he first came to Xuanfeng Gate, Dao Xuan Zhenren had already asked once, and he said one at random at that time, and naturally he would not change it this time.
"Back to Shizun, Xiaoxi and I are from Qingniu Village. ”
"Nonsense. Daoxu Zhenren scolded, he had already asked Bai Xiaoxi, Bai Xiaoxi also insisted that it was from Qingniu Village, he already knew that the two were lying, at this time, his eyebrows were twisted, and a sharp light burst out in his eyes. "There is no Qingniu Village at all, you are from Baijiazhuang, yes or no?"
As soon as these words came out, some of the older disciples in the hall were in an uproar, except for Dao Xuzhen Zhenren and Qingsong Dao Leader, the other five Dao Masters were also shocked, and Xu Changqing and Bai Xiaoxi were also surprised. Xu Changqing didn't know why Daoxu Zhenren knew about this, remembering that only Zhao Qian'er knew the truth about this matter except for him and Bai Xiaoxi, and he had already explained that Zhao Qian'er wanted to keep it secret, although Xu Changqing didn't know what the consequences of truthful confession would bring, and now that Daoxu Zhenren knew, he couldn't justify himself, so he could only explain it truthfully.
"Yes, Xiaoxi and I are from Baijiazhuang. ”
At this moment, Bai Xiaoxi couldn't help but worry in her heart, she didn't know why Dao Xuzhen suddenly mentioned Baijiazhuang, and why Wuwuzi didn't let her and Xu Changqing mention Baijiazhuang, and then some disciples were even more shocked when they heard Baijiazhuang, and she was puzzled in her heart.
The young disciples in the hall were very puzzled, they didn't understand why the Dao Void True Man wanted to ask Xu Changqing and Bai Xiaoxi where they were, they looked at the next development with puzzled expressions. Dao Xuan Zhenren and Qingsong Dao Chang had already known it, and at this time, they were able to confirm that their expressions became gloomy.
Dao Xuzhen looked at Xu Changqing with deep eyes, and felt more and more similar to the appearance of a person he was familiar with, and his voice became a little trembling.
"You...... Do you know Xu Shaobai?"
Xu Changqing heard Xu Shaobai's three words, and the deeply buried past appeared in front of him like a shadow again, and at the same time, he was sad and deeply surprised that Daoxu knew Xu Shaobai.
"Master knows my father?"
As soon as Xu Changqing's words came out, the older disciples in the hall were in an uproar again, and the other five Dao Masters were shocked and shocked, Dao Xuan Zhenren and Qingsong Dao Chang did not show surprise on their faces, before Xu Changqing came, the two of them had already guessed in their hearts, Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded, and the dust covered up by the dusty past for many years gradually emerged, and the deep eyes revealed a little helplessness and sentimentality.
"He's my apprentice. ”
The young and uninformed disciples were in an uproar, including Zhao Qian'er and Zhang Zifeng, Xu Changqing and Bai Xiaoxi also looked surprised, they had never heard that there were real people and apprentices, maybe this matter was an unspeakable secret.
Dao Xuan Zhenren saw Xu Changqing stunned in place for a long time, his sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the annual ring of time, back to the past, and he told everything that had happened.
Here's the thing, twenty years ago, Daoxu Zhenren learned that his most proud disciple Xu Shaobai had already fallen in love with Zixuan, the sister of the Demon Demon Heaven Holy Venerable, the Demon Clan and Xuanfeng Sect were mortal enemies, how could Daoxu Zhenren allow his disciple to fall in love with the Demon Clan, he bitterly exhorted Xu Shaobai to cut off the love thread and return to the right path, but Xu Shaobai and Zixuan Yushui were affectionate, he couldn't give up, and would rather die than give up.
Xu Shaobai, who was imprisoned, was haunted by Zixuan's dreams, he broke the ban and wanted to escape from Xuanfeng Gate to find Zixuan, but he was bumped into by Wuwuzi who was still in Xuanfeng Gate at the time, Sanssouci has always valued Xu Shaobai, and when he learned that he had made up his mind, he couldn't bear to see Xu Shaobai lose his life because of love, so he let him let him go after vowing never to enter the demon clan.
Xu Shaobai left Xuanfeng Gate to find Zixuan, the two chose to live in seclusion, two years later their whereabouts were discovered by Xuanfeng Gate and the demons, the two parties negotiated to bring them back, Xu Shaobai and Zixuan, who was pregnant at the time, desperately resisted to fight a bloody way, and fled with the seriously injured Zixuan. It wasn't until ten years ago that the disciples of Xuanfengmen discovered the Baijiazhuang tragedy, and found Xu Shaobai among the corpses all over the ground, and after burying those corpses, the disciples who knew Xu Shaobai set up a monument in front of his grave.
Xu Changqing unexpectedly learned of his life experience, he never thought that his parents had such a past, his mother was so gentle and virtuous in his memory, he didn't believe that his mother was from the demon clan, but this word came from the mouth of a true person. In the mouth of Dao Xuzhen, his father and mother are more affectionate than Jin, and the parents in his memory are so affectionate, although Xu Changqing hates the demon clan, but he can't hate his mother at all, maybe Bai Xiaoxi is right, the demon clan is also good and bad.
At this time, the Huayang Dao Leader of the Divine Xuanwu Peak was already looking at Xu Changqing with angry eyes, and his eyes then moved to the Dao Xuan Zhenren, just as Xu Changqing, who was looking sad, was about to speak, he took the lead in anger.
"Senior brother in charge, since Xu Changqing is the son of that bad disciple and demon girl, he must have an inexplicable relationship with that demon clan, how can I keep him in Xuanfeng Sect!"
Bai Xiaoxi was surprised to learn that Xu Changqing's mother Zixuan was from the Demon Clan, but she had lived in the Demon Clan for ten years, but she had never heard Youyue mention that she had an aunt, Bai Xiaoxi knew that the situation was serious and she didn't have time to think about it, just as Xu Changqing was about to open her mouth to defend herself, she hurriedly took the first step.
"Master, I went out of Baijiazhuang with Changqing, I can prove that he doesn't know anything about this matter, he has never had anything to do with the demons, and Changqing is the apprentice of the predecessors of the Sanssoucian, and Changqing has never left the valley with him in his cultivation, and the Sanssouci seniors were killed by the demons, and Changqing hates the demons even more, how can it have anything to do with them. ”
Zhang Zifeng was happy in his heart, this was a great opportunity, if he could drive Xu Changqing out of Xuanfeng Gate, he would have a chance to be with Bai Xiaoxi, he looked at the development of the situation indifferently. And Zhao Qian'er knew that this matter was not trivial, at least Xu Changqing would be kicked out of the Xuanfeng Gate, and at worst she would be worried about her life, at this time she couldn't sit idly by, so she stood up to defend Xu Changqing.
"Master, Changqing doesn't know about his life experience, how can his parents blame Changqing for their mistakes back then. ”
Dao Xuan Zhenren's eyes that seemed to be able to perceive everything glanced at Xu Changqing, as if he had made up his mind in his heart, he turned his head to look at the six Dao Masters with different expressions, and then fixed his gaze on Huayang Dao Leader.
"Senior brother is too worried, I believe Changqing, if he has a relationship with the demon clan, the demon clan will not kill the junior brother of Sanssouci because they want to find him. ”
At this moment, the Qingyang Daoist of the Ethereal Peak seemed to remember something, and his expression was nervous.
"Senior brother in charge, the whereabouts of that demon girl have been unknown for so many years, how can Changqing not know, this matter must not be careless!"
Daoxu Zhenren was stunned when he heard this, if it weren't for the reminder of Huayang Dao Chief, he would have almost forgotten that Xu Changqing's mother Zixuan might still be alive, and remembered that Zixuan's body was not found in Baijiazhuang back then.
"Changqing, where is your mother? ”
Although Xu Changqing didn't know which of the many tombs in Baijiazhuang belonged to his mother, he always thought that his mother was no longer alive like his father. Xu Changqing's face was shocked, his originally sad eyes showed a hint of surprise, and because of his excitement, he was a little unfavorable when he spoke.
"Master, I'm ...... Is my mother still alive?"
